Revisions and editing are important steps that often left out during the writing process. This class will provide the teachers with a new way to use Microsoft Word to complete these steps with their students. With various tools, teachers will be able to track the changes made in their own documents as well as make comments and changes to another’s document without making them permanent. This will allow them to then show their students how to better edit and revise their peer’s work.
